Hi,

Yes, while debugging a bit this problem, I have seen that the segfault 
in libcups comes from a call in libgtk.

However, only cups and the associated libs were upgraded for my concern: 
I asked for an upgrade of libcups2 from lenny to squeeze (I am mostly 
based on lenny but use a few packages from squeeze and/or lenny-backports).

Here is the log from /var/log/aptitude:
